Abstract: A circuit and method of interleaving a data stream (DATA) in which the data to be interleaved is contained in separate sections of the data stream. A buffer storage circuit (28) receives and stores the data stream. A first section (T1-T2) of the data stream is transferred to a first memory circuit (62) and a second section (T3-T5) of the data stream is transferred to a second memory circuit (64). A multiplexer circuit (68) receives data from the first and second memory circuits and selects between the first and second sections of the data stream in response to a selection signal to produce an interleaved output signal.

Abstract: An AGC circuit including a precision voltage clamp and method by which a receiver output voltage may be referenced to virtualy any level desired. The circuit and method of the present invention provide an extremely precise AGC and fast clamp ideal for use in RGB data transmission in a fiber optic receiver.

Abstract: A synchronization separation circuit is used to separate the synchronization signal portion of a green video signal. This synchronization signal is used to enable first and second comparators which compare the synchronization portion of the green video signal with the synchronization portions of the red and blue video signals respectively. A differential amplifier for each of the red and blue video signals, enabled by the green synchronization pulse and driven by the appropriate comparator, produces a synchronization pulse identical to that of the green video signal which is then added to the red or blue video signal.
